| Normal.dot styles suddenly lost - How can I get them back? Posted: 21 Feb 2014 03:16 PM PST A few months back I upgraded from Windows XP and Office 2003 to Windows 7 and Office 2013. Until today I have had no problem using all the specialized paragraph styles that I had created in Word 2003. I generally open all my old documents in Compatibility Mode. With all my documents I have been able to click the Change Styles button and get a drop-down window listing all the styles that I had created and stored in Normal.dot. Suddenly today they are all gone - I get nothing when I click Change Styles but a couple of lines of presumably standard items. This is true of every document that I've tried opening. I fear I must have clicked something accidentally that disconnected my Normal.dot styles from my working documents. How do I get them back? (In Word 2003 I could open a dialogue box where I could merge styles from Normal.dot into an open document, but I can't find anything like that in Word 2013.) If, God forbid, I can't get them back, How do I recreate specialized styles that can be used with every document? Thanks! |
| Microsoft Word 2013 -- Cannot save my files! Posted: 21 Feb 2014 02:55 PM PST Whenever I try to save my file two things happen: i) The save process takes about 1-2 minutes, during which the memory usage of winword.exe rises from 700,000 K to >2,000,000 K. A 0kb word save is created and the save fails. ii) I get the an error stating "A file error has occurred." and my file does not save The only way I am currently able to save my file is through autosave. Please help! The document I am saving does not contain any equations, it contains some graphs and has a file size of ~6 mb, 937 words, 6 pages. The graphs are from a program called AcqKnowledge BIOPAC and is just plotted wave data. I have noticed only when I use these graphs does this save error issue come up. Other problems include overall lag and low responsiveness of the program. I'm on windows 7 x64, 8gb ram, my hard drives are all ok with enough space, sufficient hardware-wise. I have also tried to copy and paste to a new word file and save it but I come across the sample error. |

| Print multiple booklet pages on 1 sheet Posted: 21 Feb 2014 02:08 PM PST Please I would appreciate your help on this. I have a 32-page document which I want to print is a booklet. Each page is an A6 in size. I have already set the book-fold option, which means that I will be printing on A5 paper Landscape. (i.e. 2 A6 pages = 1 A5). Up to this point no problem. Now my problem: I want to print on A2 size sheets. Effectively, that means I should be able to print eight (8) A5 booklet pages per A2 sheet. Just to explain further, the normal book fold will print pages 32 and 1 on an A5 sheet. But what I want is to print pages 32 and 1, followed by pages 30 and 3, followed by pages 28 and 5, and so on until pages 17 and 16, ALL ON THE SAME A2 SHEET. (= 8 A5 booklet pages or 16 single A6 pages per A2 sheet) My reason for wanting to do this is to save costs of plate-making and impression, and overall production costs. One crude option will be to copy the text page for page into CorelDraw, and then manually arrange them to print in the right order on the A2 sheet. But If I can get this done from word or publisher, I would be happy. I appreciate any qualitative help or advice. Thanks and God bless. |
| Delete Key acting weird in Word Posted: 21 Feb 2014 01:01 PM PST When I use the delete key in my document, it deletes that one character and then the curser immediately jumps to the beginning of that line. How can I fix this? It never used to do this. |
| Save a merged document and remove merge codes. Posted: 21 Feb 2014 12:17 PM PST In Word XP there was a way to save a single merged form that removed the merge codes and made the merged information permanent so that when you open the document it does not have to go to data base. I can't remember the procedure. Is it available in Word 10 and if so how? |
| Use the data in a table and populate a 'block' graph (table) Posted: 21 Feb 2014 11:56 AM PST Hi, I am trying to accomplish the following and welcome any suggestions: Two columns in a table (with two or more columns on either side) each store a number. The two columns happen to be side by side. There is another column titled 'AA'. There may be n - nnnnxxxx rows in the table. Elsewhere is a 'graphical' representation of the compilation of the data in the two columns. This 'graph' contains 5 blocks in the Y 'axis' and 5 blocks in the X 'axis'. For example, if Row 1 contains the values Y(2) and X(3) in these columns and the AA column for this row contains the value 'ABC', the value 'ABC' will appear in the 'graph' in block X(3), block Y(2). More than one value can display in a block. So, the 'graph' should initially be created as a table(?) so that the blocks can expand. Following is an example of the table (note that a blank row appeared during the copy from my source to here): | AB | 3 | 3 | | CD | 2 | 3 | | EF | 2 | 2 | | GH | 2 | 2 | Following is an example of the graphical representation of the information in the table (please note that the cells in the last column were garbled when I copied them to here): | Y | 5 | | | | | | | 4 | | | | | | 3 | CD | AA | | | | 2 | EF, GH | | | | | 1 | | | | | | | | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | | | X | Also, the above table will be color coded. The AA values appearing in the cells will not change the color. In other words, the table will look like the above table (with color added). The X and Y value for each AA will be 1 through 5, so it will fit somewhere in the table. Because there may be nnnxxx rows in the table with the source data, this graphical representation will need to be able to expand the cells in a row if a cell contains more AA values than the cell can display otherwise. Also, the Y column is not supposed to look as if it contains individual cells. I had merged them prior to copying. A bunch of rows were pushed to the left. Best, MaryTNolan (Mary T.

| Printing problems with address labels Posted: 21 Feb 2014 10:34 AM PST Printing Problems Printer: Pixma iP 4920 Software: Microsoft Office 10 Access 10 Word 10 Avery Label: 5160 Print does not track according to the label. The first row of labels may be properly filled in. Succeeding rows have print farther and farther out of sync with the label with print moving toward the top of the label. The last row has the first line of text on the label missing. Print preview looks OK. I seem to remember something about calibrating the printer with the label several years ago. I don't see anything about that with latest label 5160. The problem exists with Avery Design Pro, Label creation with Access and also with Word. I note that the Avery template for the 5160 is several years old; is it compatible with the latest versions of software? Is it possible to print labels with the iP 4920? I'm sending this to all those who might be able to give some corrective action/ideas I might be able to implement. I would be grateful for any help offered. My wife has a greeting card ministry with our church and preprinted labels are a tremendous help to her. Reece Maxey |
| Word/Excel 2010 not remembering the last opened or saved location Posted: 21 Feb 2014 10:04 AM PST Recently, on opening a document stored in a folder not located in the default working folder, when selecting Save As, the dialog window reverts back to the default working folder rather than the location where the document was opened from.
So if working on several files stored in a folder which is stored in a long folder structure, each time another document needs to be opened or perform a save as from that same location, the dialog box shows the default working folder (Documents) and you have to drill down the folder structure to the folder where the documents are which is now time consuming.
Just to be clear, I'm not asking how to set or change the default working folder, I know how to do that and that procedure is fully documented here, "Set or rename a default working folder" http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/set-or-rename-a-default-working-folder-HA101907414.aspx The laptop is running Windows 8.1 with Office 2010. This issue has only occurred in the last week and the only changes I am aware of is the default Libraries needed to be recreated. Thanks Graeme |
| Default in Word 2010's Search function Posted: 21 Feb 2014 08:48 AM PST Word 2010's Search function defaults to the Headings option (and promptly informs me correctly that my document has no headings) no matter how many times I select text search. I can find no option to set the default to text, although I believe that Word 2007 did not exhibit this behavior. Am I missing something? Thank you. |

| Word 2013 Mail merge to an e-mail loses embedded documents Posted: 21 Feb 2014 05:46 AM PST Im using Word 2013 and Outlook 2013 as part of the Office 365 subscription service (so connected to an Exchange server) I created a mail-merge e-mail in Word, and used Insert / Object / Create from File to insert a PDF file in the document. I tested the PDF file by double-clicking - it opened just fine. I then ran the mail-merge function to send all the e-mails. The copy e-mails in my "Sent" folder and the e-mails as received have no embedded PDF file - the file has been replaced with a small JPG file saying "Adobe Acrobat Document" As part of my investigations I've tried sending other files types - but with the same result - the original file is not sent and is replaced with an icon I have previously (~8 weeks ago) used this approach successfully to send out an e-mail to a group of people. Anyone able to suggest whet I'm doing wrong? Is there some security setting that strips out attachments in this manner Thanks - Ian |

| How can I get a Local GP Editor for Word 2013 Home & Student in 8.1? Posted: 20 Feb 2014 10:33 PM PST Word 2013 is overriding my document settings in Page SetUp and Font Style and Size. I am trying to print out draft pages of a manuscript, on which I will need to do extensive editing. Word has determined that these documents are chapters of a book. So instead of printing out pages in draft form, it overrides my settings and will only print out a finished book page that is in a smaller font setup for a 5 x 7 paperback--impossible to edit. I deliberately avoided using a manuscript template, just ordinary blank documents with margins set at 1.5" Left and 1" all others. I cannot edit the printouts it's giving me and need a Local Group Policy Editor to stop the Word app override. I found a number of options from past forum entries, but haven't been able to download any they offer--either 8.1 or Word won't let me. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. |

| Transferring Word (and Outlook) 2013 custom settings Posted: 20 Feb 2014 07:05 PM PST I'm about to put in six new machines for our business, running Windows 7. Five of them will only be used by me: two office machines, two laptops, and one home machine. The fifth is used by my staff and I'll be the one setting it up.
I'm planning on buying multiple licenses for Office Professional 2013 (which I believe will be under the "open license" format according to what the dealer says I'll be getting).
I know from experience that I will initially be spending a lot of time modifying the default settings in Word to accommodate what I like -- and what I don't like.
I'll be putting Outlook clients on five of these machines, too, but at least there's less for me to customize. Please tell me there's an easy, elegant way to copy my new settings to the other five machines after manually customizing everything on one, at least for Word. And if so, it would be great to know how, please. (Frankly, if this is easier to do in Office 2010, it may be worth it to me to exercise my "downgrade" option.) Thanks! |
| Modified documents cannot be saved under the same name Posted: 20 Feb 2014 06:23 PM PST When opening existing documents (Word, PPT, and Excel) to update or modify, open defaults to a Read Only file, which cannot be saved as the same document. I have looked for a box to uncheck, but the only way I have found so far to bypass the read only is to click the down arrow next to Open and select open. Too many steps and makes the quick access menu useless. Any help appreciated. I have never seen this before. |
| Problems with Microsoft Office Posted: 20 Feb 2014 05:54 PM PST I have Windows 8.1 on a 2 month old brand new Acer computer. It is an aspire M5-583P-9688 with an i7 chip and 8 GB of memory. I have Microsoft University 2013 but I mainly use Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. However recently I have been having lots of problems with these 3 programs. I had a laptop before this and even on that computer I had problems with these programs. I also have Webroot which I have used to scan my computer multiple times and it has not reported any viruses. Problems include: - Not opening files from online
- trouble saving any where (in cloud on in my documents)
- problems opening existing files from my documents
- excessive time needed to just open the programs
- add-in problems
I do not remember downloading any apps and I remember this has always been a problem from the start. So how do I fix this problem? |

| Equations displayed funny Posted: 20 Feb 2014 03:18 PM PST Hi I am a student who recieves a lot of files with these equations displayed. These files all come from my university where they all use Microsoft 2010 and above. This does not just occur just in word but also in powerpoint. I used to have office 2007 and then upgraded to office 2013. I have tried reinstalling office, installing the compatibility program suggested, changing fonts in word, changing object to placeholders, changing fonts in Microsofts equation editor and even installing additional software like Mathtype 6.9. Non of the above worked. The only way to change these formulas is to double-click them and use Microsofts equation editor 3.1. This is very time concuming and longwinded when you have a 10 page document from my math teacher.
